Blok Hosts Another Afternoon of Cooking with the incredible James Peck!
Sunday funday as they call it! And what a day it was. The smoke was riding high in the rafters at Blok HQ. The fires were lit, smoker fueled and beer was flowing. The Blok BBQ Shop was packed full of punters as the tunes blasted out around the building! A very honest way to finish your weekend! We had fun. Join our mailing list to be kept in the loop about the next event!
Alex, From Fumo Folk working the Blok Firecage!
We look forwards to seeing you all at the next event.
Cheers, Ben x
Maybe it seems like madness, but hey! we did it anyway...
Blok Knives was proudly featured on BBC's "Escape to the Country" in Derbyshire, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
In 2015 Ben was asked to appear in a National advertising campaign for Kettle Chips. It featured a number of crafts people doing what they do best. Making stuff.
Ben Edmonds first tried forging knives after seeing a YouTube video. Now he makes a living from Blok Knives, crafting quality blades by hand.
What have you been doing during lockdown, if not cooking up a storm in the kitchen? We’ve seen your posts. We’ve seen your updates.
A blunt knife is a dangerous knife. It’s common knowledge among cooks that you’re far more likely to cut yourself using a crappy knife in the kitchen than you are using something that could glide through a sheet of A4 paper with ease.
Described by The Telegraph as the Aston Martin of the cutting world, Ben Edmonds, creator of Blok Knives talks to us about how he initially became interested in knife making and why it’s best to buy handmade.
Hand-crafted in a world heritage 17th century building in derby, england, ben edmonds‘ ‘blok knives’ kitchen range represents how beautiful, primal and unique knife craftsmanship is.
